GlossaryMelatonin Implants

small devices under skin releasing sleep-regulating hormone

Melatonin implants are small devices inserted under the skin that release melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. These implants can be used to treat sleep disorders or to manage conditions like seasonal affective disorder (SAD). For professionals, they offer a controlled and sustained release of melatonin, potentially improving patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes compared to oral supplements.
